desperate for help :) about 8 months ago i had a pap that came back normal except for BV. i was treated for that. about right after that i was dx w vaginal candida yeast infection (rarely itching/burning, mainly just the discharge)-my dr treated me with diflucan. it never went away. since then i have been to my gyno who cultured my yeast infection and said best medication for it was diflucan, so he also prescribed me to diflucan for 7 days-never went away. then he again prescribed me diflucan 150 once for 3 weeks. never went away!!!
this is my first yeast infection so i dont know why diflucan will not cure me. i am 22 years old, smoke and drink on the weekends, work out regularly, work nights, recently pretty stressed. tested negative for STD'S (including HIV), not a diabetic.
im starting to change my diet more to eliminate yeast and sugar, and taking probiotics--but im feeling helpless and worried! any suggestions would help please, i feel like it is only getting worse...
